The products can be classified according to the following typology: dual market products (rice, maritime products, etc.); export products (coffee, tea, rubber, etc.); and little-exported products (fruits and vegetables, meat, etc.). The localisation and nature of the companies according to the outlets are outlined. Comparing markets, in terms of value and tonnage, places the importance of exports into context with regard to the domestic market: agricultural exports represent about 10% of total production and half as much as the domestic market in value. After 1990, agricultural exports increased considerably but since 1997, slowing growth has been followed by a fail. The share of rice is failing whereas that of maritime products is rising (each product represents about 30% of exports). The volatility of international markets is illustrated by the evoluti...

La problematique a pu etre recentree autour des liens entre les caracteristiques des produits, l'organisation commerciale et l'innovation dans les filieres d'approvisionnement. La reponse a cette problematique permettrait d'identifier les actions a entreprendre afin d'ameliorer l'adequation entre l'offre et la demande. La mise en coherence des logiques d'acteurs autour des produits reste a elucider pour assurer une meilleures articulation entre les souhaits des producteurs, commercants et consommateurs. Les innovations constatees au sein de la filiere peuvent etre reliees aux trajectoires individuelles des acteurs qui cherchent a mieux positionner leurs produits par rapport au marche. Ce rapport presente egalement les contacts menes avec l'ILRI et le projet veterinaire

First some characteristics of urban development are presented and compared to trends in East and South Africa. Then some important factors of differentiation of UPA within the region are displayed, and in particular: (i) cities of Sahelian versus humid tropical areas; (ii) coastal versus inner cities; (iii) cities facing economic and employment crisis versus cities endowed with more income sources. The stakeholders' social and economic profiles, the nature of production, marketing and consumption systems, and the social, economic and ecological impact are sketched with the provision of examples in tropical humid Africa (e.g. Brazzaville, Bangui, Yaounde, Abidjan, Accra), and Sahelian cities (e.g. Dakar, Maroua, Bamako,...

Pourtant l'augmentation de la pression fonciere et l'accroissement de la population obligent les agriculteurs a rechercher de nouvelles sources de revenus et on assiste a un important developpement des cultures maraicheres de contre-saison. Afin de mieux cerner les potentialites de celle-ci et les possibilites d'intervention de la recherche et du developpement, un diagnostic a ete realise sur l'ensemble de la region. Outre un zonage geographique des productions, cette etude propose une typologie des systemes d'exploitation maraichers et degage les principaux problemes techniques ou d'approvisionnement rencontres sur cultures legumieres. Le suivi des marches permet de decrire les differentes filieres de commercialisation des legumes et les strategies de chacun des acteurs, et de determiner les productions maraicheres a developper et...

In Costa Rica, modern retailers are said to prefer local small-scale retailers rather than large farmers who may more easily shift from one customer to the other, especially to sell to exporters. Hortifruti is committed to buy beans locally, although import prices are lower: 70% of beans sold are bought from local small farmers (Balsevitch et al, 2004 and Rondot et al, 2005).

Yet, the market for fresh vegetable seems quite sketchy and disorganized. The aim of this research is to provide a more transparent picture of this apparently chaotic market by addressing questions related to the origin of the vegetable sold in Ha Noi at different times of the year. This research is focused on the means of transportation, the organization of the vegetable marketing chains, the relationship between seasonality, the geographic origin of vegetables and the marketing chain, the atomicity of the market and its consequences in terms of organization, and the opportunities for developing off-season production for various vegetables. To answer such questions, surveys were conducted in March, June, August and November, in order to take into account changes in the origin of the products, and in the organization of the supply chain. The interviews ...

Ces formes sont toutefois confrontees a des freins techniques, economiques et institutionnels d'ou un questionnement sur leur capacite a se developper et a se maintenir, et donc sur leur durabilite. A partir d'une etude systemique de deux filieres alternatives, le petit epeautre de Haute Provence et le riz biologique de Camargue, nous nous sommes attaches a comprendre comment l'organisation des acteurs peut influer sur les trois piliers du developpement durable. Nous exposons une maniere de considerer le developpement durable qui met en avant les relations entre les acteurs, a l'aide de l'outil de l'analyse de reseau, et des entretiens menes avec un echantillon de differents acteurs des filieres.
